The Dark World Nether Kingdom

Return to Top


 

Realm: Bhrughir Mordath Taraae translated means Castle Black Gates. Mordath Taraae is located in O'Braughs vast, spartan Kingdom of Morgal Eshvah, a great valley surrounded by mountains which opened to the Silver Sea to the north. The Old Forest Marches of the Nether-regions meet the Fortress of Stone, a mountain which rises out of the Forest of the Midernmark in the lands of Morgal Eshvah, the Kingdom of O'Braugh, whose castle, 'Mordath Taraae,' or Black Gates, looms at the center of the 'Four Gates of Stone' on the border of the 'Farther Frontiers', a forest which meets the Desert of 'Wind Shorn Dunes,' which reach to the ocean and the gateway to Anwnn far to the north, the entire valley of Morgal Eshvah enclosed by the mountains called 'Vahs'Erhos, The Eternal March,' which yawn open at the ocean like a great mouth drinking in the waves of Ronymlas, the Silver Sea. The gates of stone are a ring of massive standing stones roughly fifteen feet high and eight feet across at their bases.

Of the Gates of Stone: "Pass between the standing stones to the south and you shall come into Mhas Andoreth, go between the stone pillars to the east and you shall enter Sgaith Endor in Mephais by a fixed gate. Enter between the rock giants to the west and you shall come into Taerius on Planet Dark Star, and to pass between the stone gate to the north delivers you to the Ring of Ancients, An Morendor, Morashtar."
